And Issues a Proclamation to the
 BuIgarians.
 TINovA, Aug. 14.-Prince Ferdinand was enthusiastically welcomed on his arrival here on Saturday night. To-day he attended a Te Deum in the cathedral From the cathe- dral with a brilliant military and official es- cort he proceeded to the hall of the great Sobranje. The Sobranje was in session and when the Prince entered he was greeted with prolonged cheering. The metropolitan de- livered an address and administered the oath to the Prince, who thereupon signed the constitution. NJ. Stoiloff, the prime minis. ter, on behalf of Prince Ferdinand read a proclamation saying:
 "We, Ferdinand I, by the grace of God and the will of the people, Prince of Bull. garia, announce to our we'll beloved people that we assume the government of the coun. try. We will rule in accordance with the constitution, with the intent to promote it's glory, greatness and development. We shall always be ready to sacrifice our life for it's happiness" The Prince thanked the people for his election and the regents and ministers for their able conduit of affairs dur ing the difficult crisis, pays tribute to the patriotism and bravery of the people during recent events and concludes: ''Long live free and independent Bulgaria." There is nc reference to Russia in the proclamation. After the ceremony of installation the ministers rendered their resignation and the Sobranie was dissolved.
 Neither Turkey or any of the powers has replied to Prince Feridand's note asking their approval of his election. Prince Fer dinand will on Tuesday start for Philoppolis where he will arrive Thursday evening. The garrison here has taken the oath of ale. glance.
 Prince Ferdinand held counsel at Sisto va at which, it is reported, Foreign Minister Natchevitch disagreed with the prince in his views upon the formation of new cabinet and rendered his resignation. It is rumored that Prince Ferdinand has insured his life for 2,O0O, 900 dorins

Because Mrs. Cleveland Will Hold n
 Pnblic Reception.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 14.-Since the arrival of Mrs. Cleveland at Marion the churches which she has attended have been thronged with people from other places anx- ious to get glimpse of the Presidents wife. To-day's beautiful weather caused an un- usual influx of visitors from adjoining towns. When Mrs. Cleveland accompanied by General Greedy, walked from the latter's residence to St. Gabrie's Episcopal church she was the object of much respectful atten- tention and of some impertinent staring There was large attendance at the service, at which Rev. Percy Browne, the rector, offciated. At the close of the service Gen eral Greedy and Mrs. Cleveland walked home. This afternoon with party which included General and Mrs. Greedy, MT. and Mrs B. w. Glider and Mrs. Van Rensslaer, the au- thoress, Mrs. Cleveland drove to Great Neck aud took tea with Mrs. A. w. Netterson. Returning, she received number of friends at General Greely's house. Mrs. Cleveland has finally yielded to frequently expressed and urgent requests to hold a public recep- tion and notice placarded at the postoffice says "General and Mrs. Greedy announce that Mrs. Cleveland will receive at their res idence (the house of Captain Emerson Had 1ey) the people of Marion and vicinity on Monday, August 18th, from to , D. m" Without doubt there will be a very large gathering, as this will be the only opportuni- ty the people of Marion and vicinity will have of meeting the distinguished lady during her stay in that locality.

PLEASANT REMEmBRANoEs
Gathering of the oldest Female Mem bers of the East Haven Congrega- tfOnaI Church

Gathering of the oldest Female Mem | bers of the East Haven Consrega. l tional Church.
 l One of the pleasantest features of East Ha- ven life was witnessed at the Congregational parsonage last Thursday afternoon. A gen eral invitation had been given and corre- l spending effort made to secure the presence I of every female member of the church who ! reached seventy years or more for 8 social visit of few hours and friendly cup of tea together. Of the seventeen whose ages came within the prescribed limit ten only were
 able to be present. Of this number was Mrs.
 Polly Farren, who is in her ninety-third
 year and whose church membership exceeds
 half century. Mrs. Farren is the oldest
 person in the town and is still vigorous for
 one of her years. The aggregate age of those
 present was 915 years and their church mem
 bership 426 years. Among those who could
 not be present was Mrs. Sally Shepard, who
 is in her ninetieth year and the oldest mem
 Der of the church, having joined sixty-six years ago. It was certainly interesting to see and hear these mothers in Israel engage in friendly chat as the "reminiscences of childhood came dropping back with all the vividness of youth The afternoon passed
 quickly by, and when at o'clock the stage appeared to convey them home they were emphatic in pronouncing the occasion one of the brightest spots in their lives, and they will doubtless live in the remembrance of it many days.

IT WAS NOT INCENDIARY

The Disaster at Chatsyvorth Due to Fires Accidentally Left by Section Men.
 CHICAGO, Aug 14-A Times special from Champagne, H., says: l. o. Baker, presi-
 dent of the Illinois Society of Engineers and professor of civil engineering in the Uniyer- sity of Illinois, returned last night from 8 careful personal examination of the engi-
 neering problems of the Chatsworth disaster and examination of the condition of the other bridges and culverts and protection from fire given those culverts by road off, cials rack hands. He favored the Times correspondent with the following: "The in cendiary theory has no foundation whatever. I am unable personally to find any citizens of Chatsworth who have seen suspicious char
 aoters lettering about as required by that
 theory. The flames of the burning eulvert
 were seen from Chatsworth at intervals
 for several hours before the accident. From
 the lay of the land they must have risen five
 or six feet above the track to have been seen
 so far. It is plain that an attempt had been
 made to protect the bridges from fire, but per sonal inspection of other culverts in that
 vicinity shows that it was not done so as to afford complete protection. An inspection along the line of the road for several miles shows that grass and weeds were not all burned of, but many patches were left un
 burned and in the immediate vicinity of the disaster it was more carelessly done than elsewhere. The culvert itself was of the usual building and abundant strength. He added that he thought it probable that the fire left by the section men late in the afternoon, who by their own testimony ad- mitted that there was burning grass only fo1ty rods away, which was driven down to the culvert when they left by slight change of wind. Otherwise it is probable that sparks from the special train of the superintendent of bridges, the last train before the fated excursion, kindled in the grass and burned slowly for long time and finally fired the nulvert

And Everything Points To a Good Race To-Day.
 COTTAGE CITY, Mass, Aug. 1.-The large crowds that have been attracted to the island by the arrival of the yacht fleet have greatly disturbed the usual Sunday quiet, and all day conveyance of all descriptions have been engaged in transportation. A con- cert was given this afternoon by the Fitch burg band which was greatly enjoyed, especi- ally by the yachtsmen. The past two days rest has toned up the squadron wonderfully, and the members will be in excellent shape for to-morrow's duties. The wind has been light from the south all day and several of | the yachts have been drifting in the sur.
 | rounding bays, lazily making their way to
 l the Haven. If strong breeze only strikes in
 by morning there will be no fault to be found with the weather and no postponement
 | of the race. A large number of ladies aad
 gentlemen of the Vineyard club went on the
 Electra to day by order of Commodre Gerry.

May Dispense With High Court As

 CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-The twelfth subsidi- ary high court of the Ancient Order of For esters has concluded it's labors here. In the closing session the most important question
 before the court was the framing of an
 answer to the supreme court of Foresters in England anent the cab1egram received order
 ing the admission of colored men into the
 association. Mr. Gardiner Washburn, chir-
 man of the committee appointed Tuesday
 last to consider this question, handed in a volumnious report. This took strong stand against the position of the English high court, saying: "We would give the high court of England to understand that this, the American branch, will not be controlled contrary to the general laws of the order and the best interests of the Foresters in a body. Any coercive act such as the admis- sion of the negro will be fought tooth and
 nail and we warn the high court of England that if they continue to claim powers not l granted them by the constitution we may separate and sunder ourselves from such supreme court as our fathers did from the all | claiming English ministry in the reign ot | George III'. Several heated speeches were delivered when by unanimous vote the re- port was accepted and the secretary lnstruct- | ed to forward 8 copy of the same to the | supreme court of Foresters in London. Min | neapolis was chosen as the next meeting place.

The Best Thing That Has Hit Us

It is said on the authority of the druggists, who tell the drummers, that the Moxie Nerve Food beverage is fast taking the place of fancy liquors and wines; it has the happy faculty of being 8 better drink, stopping the appetite for liquor, leaving no morbid appe
 tite, and is harmless as gruel. What is worse, all classes use and endorse it, from the clergy down. There is good reason to be-
 lieve that it stops the nervous, tired habit in women and giver almost double power of en- durance, as they so state it themselves. It will save the eternal drugging to build up. IL is said to contain no medicine, alcohol or poison, ard Dr. Thompson, it's originator, is the kip3 of man who has the confidence of all Nsw England and has the largest prac- tice. It is CT, ating more excitement in the country than the discovery of the telegraph, and it's field of usefulness is higher. The price is low.
